I suggested a horse…….but we got a helicopter

May 29th, 2010 . by admin

Rob, Namgil, Lakpa and I reached the summit of Mount Everest at 8.00am on Tuesday 25th May, not far behind our fantastic team-mates Brandon, Kristine, James and the two Riches. It turned out to be quite an epic adventure with two nights at the South Col and one failed attempt on the night of 23rd.  I  will be updating the blog shortly with all the details and pics as soon as I can get my hands on Rob’s camera.  He is trekking out via Lama Geshe’s house who needs to have his elbow drained!

I am now back in Kathmandu with Brandon and Kristine, after taking a chopper from base camp yesterday. We were amongst the last few on the mountain, so we left behind a pretty much deserted base camp.  We are enjoying the poolside, cold beers and decent food and look forward Rum Doodle’s tonight with some of the other climbers.

    Well done and congratulations to you all! We have so enjoyed reading your ‘blogs’.
    James is now back in UK and mercifully so are all his fingers and toes.
